PROSPECTUS
OF
ja
IN
SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
Better to Be:
By .iusK.ru Eve.
To be Published in the City of Jlugusta
Hie following extract from the “ Geossia
Aijveiitisek,” will elucidate the principa
and drift o the Poem :
“ The Poem is in SIX BOOKS, offrom three
to five hundred lines each. The author's
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
of minds ot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itself is not a blessing, or its continuance to
*be desired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty successfully,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
sources of consolation ih the midst of con
victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
truth ol the title he has chosen for his Po
em, that it is “ Betteii to Br.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate of human happiness than
those churlish beings do, who, in the midst
of countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Eve takes a survey ot hu
man life in all its stages—of science in all its
Ranches—of business in all its activity—of
in all its sublimity and beauty, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the life of man, with all its vicissitudes, ;
has a balance of happiness greatly in its fa- i
vor. The work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”

STKKEOTTPE EUITIuSS Or THE
dramatic works
OF SHAKESPEARE,
IN TWO SIZES,
Octavo and Duodecimo.
STEREOTYPE Editions come strongly
recommended to the public, particuar
ly oft account of correctness —consequently
this modern invention will entirely do away
the objection to American publications in
that respect.
Such a work as Shakespeare, perfectly
crce from error, and otnerwise well exe
cuted, together with the adventitious cir
fuinstances of ornament, needs little beside
to insure a favourable reception from the
friends of Liierature, and of American en
terprise.
The Subscribers are authorized to receive
subscriptions for the above, and assure their
friends, and the public generally, that they
will use their best exertions to satisfy those
t who mav subscribe; that they shall not, as
has been too frequently the case, be impos
ed upon bv works publish* d by subscription,
- and in every case in which they a>’e not sa
tisfied that the bocks, when delivered are as
good as represented, they shall be under no
obligations to take them.
They will be delivered early next, fall ;
and at from S 2 to 5 per. sett, lower than
what the S TORE retail price will be for the
same work.
Persons wishing to be supplied with ele
gant copies of the above celebrated works,
are requested to call and view the speci
mens of binding, &c. at the store of
